    Beachside fire pit directly in front of cabin
    Erin D.

    I've been to the island several times and somehow never stayed here before! Came for my partner's birthday with our dog (only certain cabins are dog-friendly, so plan ahead)... could not possibly have loved it any more. (Well maybe if the geese would have piped down in the morning but that can't be helped!) BBQ'd the first night on our porch (bring coal or purchase at the store), ate breakfasts every morning at our picnic spot on the beach, prepared in our kitchen, which was fully functional and well-stocked with the basics. I'd recommend bringing any specialty spices (they provide basics like cumin, salt, pepper, garlic powder), and cooking oil (only PAM spray provided), but otherwise they had everything we needed. Didn't use the oven during our stay but everything else worked well. We got fancy coffee drinks at the store one morning - these and the island-made ice cream were such a treat! The resort is a short drive to town so we dined out the second night. Firewood provided for beach fires in the evening - makes for a neighborly vibe as most people are doing the same thing and cabins are close to each other. We didn't do any of the available activities (including hot tub bc it was too warm during our stay) aside from ping pong - next time would love to stay longer and make use of everything!

    Tent Cabin 7

    We stayed at West Beach Resort for Labor Day Weekend in September and had a great time! We stayed in Tent Cabin 7 that has a view of the water and is just a short walk to the beach. We arrived late Friday night and were able to just pull up to our tent and check in with the resort in the morning. We left Monday morning at 10am to grab breakfast at the ferry terminal and get in line for the ferry without a reservation. The tent was furnished with a futon, queen sized bed, table, two chairs, and two night stands. It also came with a bundle of firewood, fire starter, matches, and treats for our dogs. It slept the four of us and our two small dogs comfortably. Outside the tent there was a firepit, two adirondack chairs, a faucet, and a power outlet. We had cell phone phone reception which made it convenient to research what we wanted to do on the island. The convenience store was well stocked and they even delivered firewood to our tent when we ordered from the phone app. The bathrooms were well maintained and clean. For activities, we drove out to Moran State Park to see the overlook from Mount Constitution and walked around town that was just a 10-15 minute drive away. On the resort we rented a crab pot for a day and caught crab off of the pier that we cooked over the fire. The water was so clear that we could actually watch the crab going into the crab pot. Overall, it was a very relaxing trip and a great way to go glamping for the first time. The tent accommodation was pricey but very lovely. I would definitely recommend it for those who want to try a more comfortable version of camping. It was also great that they were dog friendly because I found very few glamping or tent accomodations were dog friendly in the San Juans.

    First time here! Have the fam in an RV and it's super quiet and safe here! There's a small grocery shop at the customer service center, lots of pamphlets to help you decide what activities you'd like to do. The resort is along the water with a breathtaking view of the mountains on both sides, and there's a beautiful dock with outdoor seating. The ladies at the front desk were friendly. So awesome that we already saw about 10 deer having dinner on the lawn!

    This was the perfect little glamping getaway to an absolutely gorgeous spot!! I took my dog and set up camp at my designated site - each site has a picnic table and fire pit (and they provide wood if you want) - and the beach is just a short walk away. The views are stunning, the little ice cream/espresso stand/bar is cute, and it's the most peaceful and beautiful place to sit on the beach or on the dock, enjoy a drink, and watch the sun set. Definitely family friendly and safe, everyone was taking safety precautions for COVID as well. I'm used to backpack camping and this was so easy and fun. There are some great cabins right on the water too, with their own fire pits, if you want to spend a bit more money. Close drive (~7 min) to Eastsound as well. I loved it and will definitely come back again!!

    Beautiful and secluded just like you like it! Lovely cabin with a great view of the bay!

    10/10 would recommend for families, getaway with friends, or a vacation with your hubby! I went with a group of 5 and stayed in one of their 1-bedroom cabins which slept 5 people (2 people in the bedroom, 2 on the futon, and 1 in a sleeper cove) and we got cabin 15. There's a secluded fire pit and deck-one of my favorite places to enjoy morning coffee and meals- as well as a stairway down to the beach. It had a view of the water but was also hidden to other camp goers. We enjoyed lots of hours fishing off of their dock, floating around on our inflatables, playing provided ping pong, and eating Lopez island ice cream! Check in/out was a breeze and they were quick to respond to needs (they have an app you can use to make requests-I requested extra pillows and shampoo and it was hand delivered to our door in 10 minutes). Lots of things to do on the island if you have a car- we took a half day trip to the San Juan islands and went to the other side of Orcas island to Mount Constitution to the viewpoint. Overall, a great getaway from the city life! Only tip is to have food planned out- there's not a whole lot of close restaurant options and cooking is half the fun!

    We stayed the weekend in studio 16, a garden spot with a nice view of the water and a dock to watch the wildlife. It was February so I don't recall seeing many other guests which was nice because some of these cabins are pretty close together. The room had some convenient amenities with a small fridge, glassware and utensils. They have a coffee maker but you have to get the coffee from their on-site store. Unfortunately they did not have a blow dryer in the room which was very inconvenient. We enjoyed the fire pit and they provide a nice setup of chairs. Overall a nice stay for something basic, would consider staying again if we're ever back on Orcas.

    My girlfriend and I spent two nights in a one bedroom ocean view cabin. Although it was still "off-season", we had a nice time on Orcas Island. Pluses... +clean +quiet +great view (as advertised) +dog friendly +quick drive to downtown and ferry Minuses... -hard bed (fine if you like an extra firm mattress) -slow internet (I know...I know... We're not there for the internet, but on a rainy day... Slower than dial up! Just don't bank on it.) -I don't know the practice of other resorts, but I sort of felt like if I'm paying as much as I paid per night, the amenities such as kayaks would be included. -I also felt that firewood would be included, but again, I'm not sure what the practice is on the island. It seemed like an inexpensive resource for the price being paid.

    Such a stunning setting, wow!…read more I've had the pleasure of visiting Orcas at least once a year since I was a little kid, and finally had the chance to stay at Rosario Resort. While the rooms aren't modern, the views from the Harborside buildings are fabulous. What a lovely spot to sit out on the deck and have a peaceful breakfast. I enjoy walking around the property, and hope to visit someday during the summer to take advantage of the waterside adult swimming pool--one of the best PNW pool views I've seen. (There is a kid-friendly outdoor pool located at the center of the property, and an indoor salt water pool located adjacent to the spa that's open year-round.) The charming mansion is fun to explore, and the restaurant offers tasty menus items (with vegetarian and vegan options, hooray). Although it's fun to stay in different vacation rentals across the island, I'd be happy to come back to Rosario in the future. It's located conveniently close to Cascade Lake and Mountain Lake, plus it's not too much of a drive to get into town.

    The room was a nice size, and the staff -though only online- was helpful- but for $600 for two…read morenights I couldn't say it was worth it. The mansion was (as people have said) shut down and there was just a bunch of trash outside of it. This also meant no amenities so the advertised pool/hot tub, etc. just not a part of it. -The room itself also has clearly not been updated in a while with old outlets, stained couches, and stained walls from the fire place? Honestly this stuff wouldn't really bother me that much had the price just been wayyyy lower. Hiltons offer way nicer rooms for half the price with real people there to help. I think maybe while they're renovating they should just offer price cuts but oh well. I did ultimately enjoy my stay and will be back to Orcas Island for its cute charm :)

    Our visit started off with having trouble finding the entrance to the restaurant. We finally found…read moresomeone to ask and made our way in.... I think I offended the hostess and waitress after having trouble with their "ring bell for service" bell. We waited a short time in the small entrance and noticed the bell.... Several light taps produced no sound and a more unreserved tap sounded like a fire alarm. The hostess and waitress arrived wide-eyed and I apologized and tried to make light of the awkward meeting... they weren't having it. We were there to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. We stated that in our reservation and were given a half hearted "happy anniversary" after being seated in the middle of the dining room, without any view. Several couples after us were seated with views to the water. It was our first time there and we didn't know to ask... In any case, we loved the food when we finally got it - but it took over an hour and a half after ordering to receive our meal. The waitress, Countnee (name on receipt), couldn't have been less interested in serving us. I guess she never got over the bell incident??? She seemed overly nice to others... even comping a bottle of wine for the couple next to us. We didn't even get the short spiel about how the strawberries in the sorbet were grown in their garden.... she told other people, we heard her- but she couldn't be bothered to take the time with us. We spent a lot of money on what could have been an amazing celebratory dinner for our anniversary had the service been even a little better. Get over yourself and have a little fun. The hostess was wearing jeans, this shouldn't have had such a pretentious, snooty vibe. We had friends recommend dinner here and we were disappointed, will never be back. It's the next morning and I'm still wishing we had gone somewhere else. It was our 20th anniversary after all!!!

The bar menu is the same and the wine offerings are fun and not the usual you see at other places. Because they are so amazing they're often very busy, would highly recommend a reservation, however small parties can often be seated in the bar after a short wait, but there's never a guarantee as it is a loc favorite spot.

The soaking tub was amazing! I made a point to take a soak before we left as the tub was much larger than the one we have at home, it's extra wide which is great for two people showering at the same time. The location to town can't be beat! We loved being able to walk outside and we were right on the beach, and there were coffee shops and even a grocery store within walking distance. We had a slight snafu when checking in, the keys weren't in the Dropbox and we weren't able to get ahold of the owner right away. A shop owner next store let us in as she knew the code to the building. Small town, it happens. Honestly, we were relieved that someone was there to let is in! We noticed an ant problem while we were there, and this was late March, a bit early for ants. We didn't leave any food out, and we couldn't find a trail where they were coming in from. They seemed to hang out at the dining table, but nowhere else. We think the restaurant next door may have been the reason for the ants. The bed wasn't very comfortable, it felt like sleeping on a futon but it was a Queen sized bed. The kitchen was functional but very small. We found it more than adequate for a one or two night stay if making food at home. Any longer, you may need more space. Overall, we would recommend it for a weekend stay for a couple. Beautiful location!

We tried to turn AC on, but it wasn't functional. Tried to use fan, which was super dirty. We couldn't used Jacuzzi outside as it was not cleaned.

    This is our 3rd time at Salish Seaside Cottages. We love Orcas Island and the quiet non-touristy…read moreprivate ambience of the cottages so for location and beachside properties I'd give it a 4. Some of the best seaside views or sunset on the island are from the beach nearby. However, the cottages are older and you have to put up with some minor issues here and there. That's understandable really but the service can be a bit variable. Their front desk is not always staffed so there is a number to call. And depending on who it is the service can be friendly or gruff. So service gets 3. We have stayed here in different cottages but Screech Owl is my favorite though it's the one that's not on the beachside. I just love the owl decor and the grand spaciousness of the cottage. The hot tub is the best in the Heron cottage as its in a secluded alcove and the sauna is nearby. Eagles Nest is a lovers den as it has one of the best ocean views and is a studio style with hot tub overlooking the ocean - very secluded and perfect for a honeymoon getaway. But for a family outing the Screech Owl has the biggest deck for entertaining and a very spacious - 'oh! I want to bake up a storm' kitchen. The caretakers are now living below it so some may not prefer it but I still like it. The pets are free here and no deposit/housekeeping is charged but they ask you leave it clean. We bring our lab who thinks Orcas is a second home as we come here so often! 4 stars.
